changing from c20xe to c20let?

[doug_sri]

i just want to know what work is involved in doing this? i have considered throttle bodies but not sure yet but just wanted to know about gearbox and driveshafts and stuff. also has anyone got a pic of a c20let in a nova? just wanted to see how much room there is at the exhaust manifold and radiators.

what gearbox you thinking of fitting? it all depends on what intercooler you are wanting to fit to the amount of room you will have between your rad and turbo.

Your rad needs moving forwad and centralising or it will be touching the turbo, also your going to need some sort of slim fan.

I take it youve had it seam welded, if not then do it!

Hope that helps
